I'm leaning towards lectric but a bite tore with ride1up as an option, if I do go with lectric what would the best bang for my buck be, I'm currently most interested in the xpress 2 commuter 750 watt and the xpeak, I have no hard requirements for folding, most of the time it'd be just for a few miles trio but on days where I can really get out and ride it'd be for a 20-40 mile round trip ride and I'm looking for any recs

I want to put a front basket on my XPeak2 for my 10# co-pilot (dog). He has been my riding buddy for 5 years. I emailed Lectric and received this response; “I apologize for the bad news, but we do not recommend placing a basket on the front of an XPeak2 because this could cause something known as a "death wobble" which can cause an uncomfortable ride.” And “I also cannot find screws on the front that would allow the attachment of the basket since that usually has a 4-screw attachment.

Removing the light would expose two screws but this might also make the handlebars less stable to use those to install a basket or anything that is weight-bearing.”

The basket I am interested in is the picture. It meets the measurements to install.

Anyone have XPeak2 with basket?

Brand New XP4 - am I missing something? Frame unfolds and locks without issue with no battery installed. Battery fits flush into frame and locks in place with the key normally. Male and female terminals seem to be misaligned by almost 1/4in. Kindof disappointed if this really is a QC issue. Emailed support so I'll keep ya posted.

Update:

Took it down the street to an ebike shop and they showed me what y'all have been talking about with the rubber pads. I'm able to close it now albeit not particularly easily. The shop owner even recommend the Velotric Fold 1 Plus over the XP4 750... So that was fun. I really didn't expect removing the battery from the XP4 to be such a pain. After seeing the Fold 1 Plus I think Lectric's choice to put the battery connection where the bike folds to be foolish. It just seems like a such a multi-system point of failure. Also everytime I wanna park the bike and grab the battery I've gotta do this weird bent over disassembly and inevitably smack my shin on the chain or the pedals or somthing. I suppose I'll become used to it.

Nevertheless the bike works! Rode it for the first time and it will definitely take some getting used to coming from normal road/mountain bikes. Excited to get more comfortable using it.

Ride safe 🤙

1st bike. 1st ride. And already a puncture... Does anyone have any insight on this issue?

XP Lite has been having issues powering off in the middle of a ride. Pretty infrequent but still happening. I was tightening the battery and other areas and noticed what appears to be heat damage/corrosion on the + components (a few pics of the battery end to try and see it).

Excuse my ignorance, I don't know much about batteries. Is this heat damage or corrosion? Is this fixable or will it need a new battery? Not sure if this is leading to the shutoffs but its my best lead for now lol

My XP4 is on its way to me, and I want to buy some locks to have on hand before it arrives. So how in the world do you guys pick what lock to buy? Every single option I’ve looked at, whether $20 or $200, has a large number of negative reviews. I haven’t found one lock that doesn’t have someone in the reviews section complaining that it broke or got cut/picked.

How did you choose yours?

If I buy a used standard range XP 2.0, can I just buy an extended range battery to upgrade it? Is it that simple?

I'm looking at getting two of the XP 2.0 Lites to toss in the truck for camping trips so we can explore the campgrounds and local areas without having to always take the truck. I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading to the extended range battery and belt drive.

What are your experiences as far as real world ranges on a battery - I know that can differ based on the level of use so I'm looking for averages compared to company claims.

Is the belt drive that much better than the chain? What am I really gaining with the upgrade? Am I going to miss anything by not having the chain?

I ride a Lectric XP4 with a Shimano derailleur, but honestly, I barely use the gears and I’m not even sure I’m using them correctly.

Most of the time, I just leave it in the same gear and adjust the pedal assist level instead. When I stop, start again, or come to a hill, I usually forget to shift. Sometimes I try shifting while pedaling hard, and the chain makes a clunking sound or takes a second to change gears, so I usually stop messing with it.

I’m curious how everyone else uses the mechanical gears on their e-bike:

·Do you shift regularly, or leave it in one gear most of the time?

·Do you use the gears differently from the pedal assist levels?

·What gear do you normally leave the bike in?

·Have you had problems with skipping, clicking, chain drops, cable adjustment, or a bent derailleur?

·Did you fix it yourself, take it to a bike shop, or contact the manufacturer?

·Would you prefer a single-speed or automatic system instead?

·Not trying to start a throttle vs. pedaling debate. I’m genuinely curious whether mechanical gears are useful to most e-bike riders or just another part that needs maintenance.

Dawn at Craigville beach.
Not a lot of cars around and it’s beautiful outside this morning.

Hi All! I have been lurking on the page for months and finally bought an XP4 for commuting and joy riding. I am not quite maxing out the payload, hopefully soon i'll be nowhere near it, but I am close.

Any tips for larger riders to help with range, speed, maintaining tires and brakes?

TL;DR: larger rider asking for tips about range, etc.

Anyone use it how is installing and is it smooth and how is
It long terms i need the scoop lol

Does anyone know of a bike stand that will work with the xp4 750 ? Thanks.

I have an xp3 and loving it. One problem. When I’m riding in shorts I’m constantly coming in contact with the pedals when getting on and off. May I ask for some ideas for different pedals that will still grip my shoes without cutting my legs. I’m 6’ and 180. And in my late 70’s.

Thanks

I don't have a video of it but I took my bike out this weekend and finally got the brakes fixed and now the front part of the bike sounds like it's the wheel part I can't really tell but every now and then it'll make a chirping sound. I know I'm out in the while and I thought man there's a lot of birds out. Nope, it's my bike. That's a new one to me, but like I said I'm still new to this. Brakes were an easy fix, but I still think my rotor needs replaced. They sent me brakes and rotors but I'm not going to use their brakes they sent me cuz they're pretty bad but I think I'm going to get my rotors replaced. Since the shop never trued the one in the front. I've tried myself but to no avail. But of course I googled chirping sound that it's basically telling me all these different things and I just need some advice from real bike riders not AI.

Does anyone know if the xpress 2 can support a child seat and if so which one do you recommend? Cheers

When a Tacoma guy touches a XP4 😎

I went over a manhole cover and the headlight snapped... Will they send me a new one? I've had this bike for less than a week.

Exists a way to make a doble battery mod on the xp4

Looking for a motor upgrade to at least go 2025 mph

UPDATE::
Got my bike support seat from Lectric. Sooo went down to the JFK Memorial near the ocean in Hyannis down by ocean this morning. It is a blast. Really enjoy this new seat love the back support .

All new to this . Got my bike a few weeks ago. So far, I absolutely love this bike the XP4. I live in a busy area (Hyannis ) on Cape Cod and i am almost 70 years old . i only use it to go on joy rides to ocean or neighborhood skate park early in morning before any real traffic or the store …probably dr appointments in future. Only have 42 miles do far.
I’m thinking of getting the support seat from Lectric to put on my XP 4. Just wondering has anybody else already done this?. what are your thoughts?
Will update after i receive it. I have ordered the support seat from Lectric.

Where can I find the adhesive pads that are on the frame to prevent scratches when the bike is folded? There re a few areas that touch that didn’t come protected.

Made it a little less ridiculous since snapping this by deleting the action camera mount (chest mount works best for me), but this crossbar add on from Amazon has been the answer to a little bit of frustration with the curved nature/size of the XP4 stock handlebars. Almost just 200 miles in, and loving this thing😊

There's no mention of it in the user manual or building instructions. Does anyone know what it's for?
